 Now all mushrooms previously categorised under "Copelandia" are universally classified in "Panaeolus".The genus "Copelandia" was created as a subgenus of "Panaeolus" by Abbé Giacomo Bresadola (1847–1929) in honor of Edwin Bingham Copeland (1873–1964), an American who gathered fungi in the Philippines and sent some collections to Bresadola.
